Earn eternal reward

Ensure your Marhumeen are remembered in Qum & Mashad!

Contribute to the moral, spiritual and educational development of our youth!

The World Federation's excellent Madinah and Bab Summer Courses courses will have had an impact upon you in some way, either directly, through your children, grandchildren, nephews, nieces and other family members, or indirectly through the boys, girls and young adults who are sat amongst you and who are volunteers in your Jamaat activities and committees.

The Madinah and Bab Summer Courses are now into their 7th year. This course provides participants with an inspirational, motivational and life-changing experience. In just three short weeks students are given a fun-filled Islamic experience together with education, discussions, Q & A, sports, tours and ziyarats.

The courses are heavily subsidized. Participants from families that can afford to pay more towards the cost of the course must do so. However, there are a number of students that cannot afford the course even after the subsidy.

We would like to open the opportunity of sponsoring the students and parts of the course to the entire community. The costs are very modest and any amounts are welcome.

You could also choose to sponsor entire events, entire students or partial events.

For a break-down of the amounts involved see below:

Accommodation and Food in Qum

Tehran Trip  

In Tehran the participants take part in the visitation to Imam Khomeini’s shrine, the martyr’s graveyard at Behisht e Zahra and the momentous Namaz e Juma gathering at Tehran University.

Mashhad Trip 

In Mashhad the participants are able to visit the 8th Imam’s haram at any time and take part in a number of programmes designed to instill a love for the Ahlul Bayt and for Ibadat. A number of discussions, Q & A, and dua programmes are held. The students stay in Mashhad for 4 days in total.

Sports and Recreation

Students are provided with the opportunity to partake in sports and other recreation. This helps them to remain fresh and energized and teaches them the importance of unity and teamwork.

Chadars for sisters

The sisters are provided with a tailor-made Iranian-style chadar to wear as a uniform throughout the course duration. Many of the girls are so inspired by this gesture that they begin to wear hijab when they return home in cases where they previously had not worn hijab.

Transport in and around Qum, to and from airports

The students are taken in safe and reliable transport to and from the airports and in and around Qum. They visit Maraje, the haram, other ziyarats and places of interest.

Airfares and visa costs from London, North America, East Africa
 
The students will fly from different locations and therefore the costs can only be estimated at this stage.

Sponsor mentors

The mentors contribute towards the development of the students by providing advice and guidance in the form of an elder friend. The mentors return to their home communities and many are inspired to become community volunteers, muballighs, and take leadership positions. Mentors will be expected to partly fund their course fees.
